ted matters were the real estate left by Mr..
PAYNE and the insurance on his life. The

Ralph Bingham, the boy orator, who APP
pears here tonight: Last night there vas
seen at the Reformed Church an extraordi
nary novelty in the line of entertainments
in the person of Master Ralph Bingham.
For once, at least the programme equalled
the promise, and ample justice was done TO
the flattering statements that had been her
aided in advance regarding the wonders of
the youthful performer Master Bingham
is young gentleman whose gifts of oratory
and reading in widely different characters
showed emotional power, intelligence and
culture. He has clear ideas Of every part
he assumes, and his dignifed and manly
bearing wins him a respectful hearing at
once. He touches the heart in his pathetic
and sentimental selections and in the re-
fined and delicate treatment of poetic pass
ages he showed that he is possessed Of a
ripe intelligence beyond bis years Ia all
that he did last evening, nothing was over
done and no trace of coar-enrss was observ-
able even in the bnr!esque aud humorous
portions of his programme. In his violin
playing ne Interpreted var0ns selections
with good quality of tone and with some
understanding of technical difficulties. The
audience was large and manifested its pleas
ure at all they heard and in certain portions
the applause was very enthusiastic"
